Substance over style...

Rating: 10/10 (1 July 2003)

More than a just a juxtaposition of films like SHAKMA, THE CRAZIES, and THE OMEGA MAN (or THE LAST MAN ON EARTH), 28 DAYS LATER offers us an unsettling glimpse into the very nature of Human Nature. The conventions of the genre (fright films, if you will) are employed to great effect. At times frightening in a profoundly philosophical fashion, 28 DAYS LATER is enlightening entertainment. It's good to know that there are still moviemakers out there whose no-budget constraints don't prevent them from producing thought-provoking entertainment. Bravo. Encore.
